La Bella Classical Guitar 8 String, 8SG

Product Reviews for La Bella Classical Guitar 8 String, 8SG

La Bella Classical Guitar 8 String, 8SG5Joshua K.January 11, 2010Bought these for a conversion project - the project failed miserably [though I learned much from it], but these strings are quite nice. I ended up using these [along with a Giannini .060 for a low G] on my six-string, and they are truly a cut [nay, a handful thereof] above the rest. Clear and mellow, and respond well to harmonics, regardless of the tuning [well, within reason]. Absolutely LOVE how the low end rolls out, even on a standard scale! Excellent craftsmanship, with no issue, malfunction, or complaint. Well worth the money, for your six-, seven-, or eight-plus-string guitar. Highly recommended.
